Meghan Markle has sent a message to country singer and talkshow host Kelly Clarkson via her former Suits co-star Anigail Spencer.

Abigail and Meghan, who worked together on the hit legal drama as attorney Dana Scott and paralegal Rachel Zane, have remained close friends since first meeting in 2007 and later working together. As Abigail appeared on Kelly Clarkson's show on February 26, alongside her Extended Families co-star Donald Faison, she revealed she had a special message for the Since You've Been Gone singer.

As Abigail revealed she'd been speaking with the Duchess of Sussex and told her of her plans to go on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she explained that Meghan had excitedly given her a message to give direct to Kelly.

Abigail relayed the message as she said: "Meg says 'hello' and that she loves you and that she voted for you on American Idol". Kelly quickly replied: "It worked!" as she referenced her win of the music competition in 2002.

Abigail added that the message was "unsolicited" as she explained: "This was unsolicited. She [Meghan] did not know I was coming on here. We were just chatting and I was like 'oh, I'm going to see Kelly next week,' and she's like 'I have a message'."

The admission comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently believed to be keeping a low profile after the Duke suffered a defeat in his case against the UK Home Office. Harry had been trying to overturn a ruling which saw his security status downgraded after he stopped being a "working royal", as he cited concerns over his safety and that of his wife and two young children.

Following High Court ruling, details of Harry's case have been made public - including his fears for his family when he visits Britain. Much of the legal proceedings surrounding the case, which covered security arrangements for senior figures, were held in private in December, with the ruling issued by retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane on Wednesday morning.

In the ruling, retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane rejected the Duke's case and concluded Ravec's approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair. Sir Peter said Harry's lawyers had taken "an inappropriate, formalist interpretation of the Ravec process". The Duke's lawyers said he was "singled out" and treated "less favourably" by the body.

In December, when the challenge was made, Home Office lawyers told the High Court that Harry would still have publicly-funded police security, but these would be "bespoke arrangements, specifically tailored to him", rather than the automatic security provided for full-time working royals. Hours after the announcement, the Duke revealed he plans to appeal the decision.
